What is the outlook for the drone pilot industry? Is it good to be employed?

With the development of science and technology, the maturity of UAV technology and the reduction of UAV costs, many industries have begun to use UAVs for operations, but you need to have a UAV driver's license before using UAVs, but many people feel that as long as they can operate and use UAVs, it doesn't matter if they have a driver's license or not.

However, in the real situation, it is illegal to carry out flight operations without a drone license, which is mainly because everyone does not have a good understanding of the drone license.

Today, I will talk to you about the role of drone pilot training.

First of all, drone pilot training is to obtain a certificate, so when you want to enter a certain industry as a drone pilot, but you don't know anything, you need to go to a drone training institution to learn.

The focus of learning drones should also be the knowledge of industry application fields, because the difficulty of drone flight is not high, and even sometimes you can learn drone flight technology by yourself. But every industry has a stepping stone, and then a certificate becomes the best way that a novice can think of.

Secondly, it is training professional knowledge, there are many types of drone driver's licenses that can be obtained at present, but most people are taking the drone electronic license (formerly known as aopa), this certificate can solve the legal flight of drones and drone flight safety issues, because from its training projects are flight and safety knowledge, it can be seen that it is mainly to solve the problem of safe flight.

Drone flight in any industry knows that it is not enough to only learn drone flight knowledge, so the main purpose of going to drone training school is to learn industry knowledge. Because the expertise required for each industry for drone applications is different.

Finally, it is the legitimacy of the drone pilot, in terms of legality, the current regulations of the Civil Aviation Administration are such a drone with a maximum take-off weight of less than 7kg, and the visual range (120 meters high and 500 away) does not require a license, that is, a license is not required.

In fact, drones above 7kg are in the professional fields of various industries, and the current development trend of drones is intelligent and small, and most of the application scenarios in the future will be completed by drones below 7kg.

So choose whether you want to study a legal license or not according to your actual situation.

In some state-owned enterprises, a legal license is required, so if you want to enter these enterprises, it is necessary to have a legal license. ‍

According to the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security's "New Occupation for the Industry Boom Status Analysis Report" shows that the UAV pilot talent gap is 1 million, the UAV installation and maintenance worker talent gap is 3.5 million, and the UAV industry talent gap reaches 4.5 million, and the UAV application industry is also very wide, such as aerial survey, electricity, police, plant protection, aerial photography, fire protection, application rescue, logistics, etc.

As for whether you are good or not to find a job, this is not very good, generally in the drone industry, you have to endure hardship, accept the daily exposure, and it is difficult to work in a comfortable, comfortable and air-conditioned environment.

Besides, it's good to find a job, you also have to get a drone driver's license to say, it's difficult to find a job without a drone driver's license, and if you want to get a job immediately, you can apply for a package employment course that can fly a drone, and you will be employed after graduation.

Hello, now all aspects of the UAV field are very popular, UAV operation is also a special type of work, the demand is relatively large, it belongs to the unpopular industry, so it is very timely to participate now, and the future development prospects are very good.

Not a drone driver's license, but a drone operator, at present, drones are a relatively new industry, if you need a certificate to operate drones in the future, I think this certificate is still more popular!

This is not a promising thing.

You can learn if you are interested.

If you're skilled, you can make money doing a job.

It is promising, it is now in the development stage, and there may be more and more places where drones will be used in the future.

Can't find a job, because drones don't need pilots.

Promising and an emerging industry!

What are the employment prospects for drone majors Is there any development in the future.

With the development of science and technology, UAV applications are more and more extensive in the civilian field in addition to military use. At present, it has been successfully used in film and television aerial photography, surveying and mapping aerial survey, high-voltage line inspection, address exploration, emergency rescue and disaster relief, pesticide spraying, commercial performances and other fields, more and more industries are hoping to replace the traditional way of working with UAVs, China's UAV industry is developing rapidly.

1. What are the employment directions of UAV majors?

Drone majors can either join the drone flight show company to work, or independently establish a studio to engage in related work. Compared with other majors, the UAV application technology major has a broader channel for finding a job and can receive more offers. In the counterpart recruitment of colleges and universities, graduates majoring in drone application technology are often robbed.

In addition to engaging in specific technical operations, UAV application technology students can also enter specialized UAV manufacturing companies to engage in related R&D technology if their professional level is relatively good.

The main employment position of the UAV application technology major is to engage in the commercial performance and application of UAV flight, and the salary is the highest in the same type of job. In the drone commercial performance, the treatment is very considerable, calculated by the flight hours.

Especially in recent years, Chengdu, Xi'an, Chongqing and other Internet celebrity cities often hold drone shows, and the cost of each performance is relatively large. One of the biggest is the cost of personnel and drone equipment. Therefore, the employment treatment of UAV application technology majors is relatively high.

2. Employment prospects for UAV majors.

After graduating from the UAV major, the employment scope is very wide, mainly including: aerial photography, geomorphological surveying and mapping, forest fire prevention, first-class investigation, emergency response farmland information monitoring, scientific research experiments, maritime reconnaissance, environmental monitoring, resource exploration, anti-terrorism reconnaissance and other fields, not only with the new depth of integration, but also gradually integrated into the traditional industry.

Correspondingly, after graduation, students can go to film and television media companies and advertising companies to be responsible for drone shooting, which has higher requirements for aesthetics; You can also do digital city development work, responsible for electronic maps, real 3D and other work; The most stable is the Land Bureau, the Bureau of Surveying and Mapping, the Design Institute and other first-class departments.

Nowadays, UAVs have been widely used in all walks of life in people's livelihood, and they are still in a blue ocean market, which has great commercial value in the field of segmentation.

First, the industry prospect of drone pilots.

The development speed of the drone industry in our country can be described as developing rapidly. In the past, there was a large demand for UAV talents in the military field, but since the state introduced a policy to allow the private use of UAVs, the demand for UAVs in the civilian field is greater than that in the military field. This has led to a state in which human resources in the drone industry are in short supply.

UAV pilots and UAV maintenance personnel with practical operation capabilities have become sought-after high-paid technical talents, even in the context of China's extremely severe employment situation under the influence of the epidemic, professional unmanned aircraft control skills have also shown super competitiveness!

Second, the employment direction of drone pilots.

Since many industries now need to use drone technology, so the employment direction of drone pilots is very many, the following are some of the directions listed, interested friends can be used as a reference: agriculture and forestry plant protection, agriculture and forestry pest monitoring and control, forest fire protection, forest land survey, resource dynamic monitoring, power lines.

Line inspection, power line erection, windmill inspection, oil pipeline boring line inspection, mobile base station inspection, aerial photography, digital remote sensing, aerial monitoring, natural resources survey, surveying and mapping, geological fiber disaster exploration, emergency rescue.

Public security anti-terrorism, anti-drug supervision, traffic intersection monitoring, highway inspection, insurance survey, environmental monitoring, film and television shooting, advertising shooting, drone performance, traffic intersection monitoring, highway inspection, drone flight test, drone test, drone maintenance, etc.

3. Employment opportunities for drone pilots.

UAV pilot is a modern high-tech system integration.

It involves a wide range of technical fields. With the development of science and technology, countries around the world are vigorously developing the UAV industry. It is more widely used in the civilian field.

Because of the low operating cost of UAVs, no personnel risk, good maneuverability, over-the-horizon flight, easy to use, safe and efficient, more and more industries, departments and units are hoping to replace traditional working methods with UAVs. Therefore, the social demand for drones is large, and the supply of drone pilot talents exceeds the demand.

At present, our country requires drones to be licensed to drive, but now drones are flooded, and there are many industries involved, such as: agricultural plant protection aircraft, field surveying and mapping, film and television industry, self-leading industry, etc., the use of drones with certificates in large cities should be more proportional, most of them are unmanned in remote places, and it is impossible to apply for a driver's license.

Or go back to the problem of the landlord, want to learn the drone driving license to find a job, the demand in the current industry should not be particularly large, but I think the landlord is still more visionary and forward-looking, because in our country there have been several cases of flying drones without a license in the no-fly zone to hurt people, in the future our country will definitely increase efforts to control the problem of drones.

To sum up, relying on a drone driver's license is promising in the future. I'll say a few more words here and give the landlord a few personal opinions:

The first point is to do what you are good at, such as being proficient in machinery, then you must start with the plant protection machine.

The second point is that if you are a photography enthusiast and are good at photography, and now there are more people using drones, then you have to start from the shooting aspect.

In the power industry, it can inspect the power grid from the air; In the police world, it is the "scout" of the first operation - nowadays, drones are being used more and more in various fields because of their convenience and efficiency. In April this year, drone pilots were listed as one of the 13 new occupations by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and other three departments, and the huge market demand made the holders of drone driving licenses become "sweet and sweet".

The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security recently released the "Analysis Report on the Employment Prosperity of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Pilots" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report"), which shows that the total number of unmanned aerial vehicle driving practitioners in China is hundreds of thousands, and the employment fields are mainly film and television aerial photography, agriculture and forestry plant protection, power inspection, and aerial surveying and mapping, accounting for more than 55% of the total. With the continuous expansion of the application field of UAVs, the choices of UAV practitioners will increase year by year, and the employment space will become increasingly broad.

In the next five years, the demand for talents will be nearly one million.

Zhou Fei is an engineer at a research institute in China, whose main research direction is in the field of urban security, and his main business direction is the safety monitoring of public infrastructure. In 2015, the unit introduced drones, which gave Zhou Fei the idea of using drones for public infrastructure monitoring.

In 2016, Zhou Fei became a professional drone pilot through the training of professional institutions in China. Since then, the use of drones to inspect urban infrastructure has become one of Zhou Fei's main tasks. Over the course of several years, Zhou Fei's team has repeatedly used drones to discover potential safety hazards in urban facilities.

Becoming a drone pilot and using drones for data collection not only improves our work efficiency, but also allows us to use high-altitude perspectives or dangerous areas to find many problems that cannot be found by previous technical means. Zhou Fei said.

Among the many UAV products, there are not only portable aerial photography UAVs, but also industrial-grade UAVs that are more and more widely used in surveying and mapping, security, security, power inspection and other fields, and these industries currently have a strong demand for overall solutions for UAV applications. Li Yike, who graduated from Chongqing University of Science and Technology, is currently working for a drone company and is an expert in industry application solutions. Previously, he has been engaged in flight-related work since obtaining his drone pilot certificate, and with the accumulation of flight experience and knowledge reserves, he has gradually transformed from a field operator to an industry application solution engineer.

According to incomplete statistics, the number of domestic UAVs has exceeded 1 million. According to IDC (International Data Corporation) data analysis, by the end of 2019, the annual sales of drones in China will reach 1.96 million, including 1.5 million consumer-grade drones and 460,000 industrial-grade drones, and it is expected that the demand for drone pilots will be nearly 1 million in the next five years.

As a 100-billion-level UAV industry, there will be a huge gap in the demand for UAV pilots in China in the next few years. Wang Shuguang, Secretary of the Party Committee and Vice President of the Hefei Public Safety Research Institute of Tsinghua University, believes that the birth of a new profession of drone pilot has made up for the demand for professionals and professional skills in the drone industry.
